This Mindfulness Monday session invites participants to gently explore compassion as a source of strength, steadiness, and ease. Through simple grounding practices and guided reflection, we’ll create space to meet our experiences with patience, understanding, and shared humanity.

Together, we’ll explore how cultivating compassion can support those living with Parkinson’s in navigating daily challenges—helping to soften tension, ease self-judgment, and deepen connection with ourselves and others.

Get out and move with your community! Every dollar raised supports the Parkinson’s Foundation mission to make life better for people affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD). At Moving Day Community Walks across the country, we’re fighting Parkinson’s and celebrating movement — proven to help manage Parkinson’s symptoms — and we’re doing it together. The Moving Day Community Walk Program is a complement to the Parkinson’s Foundation Moving Day, A Walk for Parkinson’s. These walks are family-friendly and help the Foundation make life better for people with PD.

The Community Walk program offers volunteers an opportunity to organize a walk in their own community that does not have a Moving Day event. The program leverages the personal experiences and community leadership of passionate volunteers to promote Parkinson’s awareness and raise funds for the Parkinson’s Foundation.
